we believe…
That scientists should be treated like rock stars
That learning something new is ludicrously fun
In putting our screens down and creating real community
In the transformative power of art, science, and sharing new ideas
In supporting local businesses, and building local communities
In not taking ourselves too seriously
Past Lectures

Common Knowledge?
We’re partnering with local bars and experts. This is the form for you if you’d like to host a lecture at your venue, if you’d like to give a lecture, if you have a press inquiry, or if you just want to ask us a question.

If we’re being honest, we aren’t big fans of social media. Our goal is to get you off your screen and to come see us at a live event. But until you can make it in-person, it’s cool if you follow us on social media.
